GUEST: Well, I brought a pin in that is stamped "Tiffany," and it is full of diamonds, and I believe it's platinum.

I, um, purchased it about 30 years ago, and I tucked it away and brought it out yesterday.

(chuckles) APPRAISER: So it really hasn't seen daylight?

GUEST: Not, n, not, no, not really.

APPRAISER: Did you acquire this from a private individual or from a store?

GUEST: Yes, from a private individual.

And they had heard that I like old pieces... APPRAISER: Okay.

GUEST: ...that were really nice, and she brought it to me, and we agreed on a price, and I, and I purchased it.

APPRAISER: Okay, fantastic.

And you paid how much for this piece?

GUEST: I paid, I think, right at $3,000.

APPRAISER: Okay.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: Well, I think that that was an excellent investment.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: The item is made by Tiffany and Company.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: We have a, a clear mark on that.

This is a quintessential Art Deco jewel.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: I absolutely am in love with this because of the lines.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: You might expect me to say the diamonds first, but truthfully, it's got these beautiful Art Moderne lines that are just captivating.

You have diamonds in a variety of shapes.

There's the European-cut diamond in the center.

You have French-cut diamonds, baguette-cut diamonds.

There are round-cuts.

They're all set in a beautiful platinum frame.

This is magnificent Art Deco craftsmanship in a very Art Moderne style, with brilliant lines.

This is sculpture in miniature.

GUEST: Good.

APPRAISER: And it just makes everybody catch their breath.

This is a treasure.

GUEST: Mm-hmm.

APPRAISER: It should be worn.

GUEST: I knew I liked it.

APPRAISER: If you were to go to a high-end retail store today, you could look at $25,000 to $30,000...

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: ...for this piece.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: So your thir, your $3,000 investment was money well spent.

GUEST: Well, that's not too bad.

APPRAISER: Yeah, no, I think so, too-- it's awesome.

GUEST: (laughs) I am, I am happy that I purchased it, and, and I appreciate the craftsmanship in it.

So I guess I'll have to wear it from now on, yeah.

APPRAISER: You should.
